Student Welfare
At Shoeburyness High we have a dedicated team of non-teaching pastoral staff who are responsible for the physical, social and emotional well-being of the children in our care. By supporting these aspects of their life at school we endeavour to help all of them to settle, progress and ultimately fulfil their academic potential.
Our pastoral team are also available to support parents and carers as and when needed. Please feel free to contact the team through our communications system, SHS Connect, and they will be happy to help resolve any queries or issues you may have.
We value excellent communication between home and school and strive to resolve issues that may arise as swiftly as possible. We also welcome any suggestions from parents indicating what we are doing well and what we could do further to continue to improve experiences for our students.

Where students are not quite reaching their targets, Heads of Year ensure effective interventions are put in place.
